Hi, on the verge of self-desolation to unreservedly losing oneself, welcome to nanta’s third issue. This issue highlights how thoughts and actions lead to letting go of all harmful notions be it for better or for worse; how if whether conceptual freedom is ultimately the best option for everyone. Second guesses begin with an itch leading to crashing of bridges and finally acceptance and that process is what this issue wishes to highlight. We hope you enjoy this month’s eagerly awaited project. Have fun.





“... Did I ever tell you about the first time I did heroin?” The basketball diaries revolve around the gritty life of legendary poet-musician Jim Carrol. The autobiography is a brutally honest insight into life as a heroin-addicted teenager in the 50s. Gripping quotes are directly extracted from Carroll’s memoirs from the time, setting it apart from all the other mundane drug-themed coming-of-age films. The diaries follow Jim’s once-promising basketball career and the theatrical downward spiral of not only his vocation, but of his relationships with friends and family. At first, Jim’s relationship with drugs was quite simple: a small habit, a “chippie”. Fueled by a whim of passing frivolous emotions, Jim falls into a relentless cycle of crime, violence, and drug abuse. Despite the casts’ young ages, they delivered their roles sinlessly; their performances widely acknowledged by film critics. Playing the role of Jim is 19-year-old Leonardo Dicaprio (whose performances never disappoint), truly immersing himself into his character. Alongside Dicaprio was Mickey, played by Mark Wahlberg, and James Madio as Pedro. Together, this unlikely clique of drug-addicted, basketball-loving teens helped create the emotional masterpiece that is The Basketball Diaries. The film accurately portrayed drug abuse as exactly what it is. Starting off mild and occasional, lighthearted and glamourous. As you feel more comfortable, you fall in deeper and deeper, to a point of no return. Don’t let the title mislead you; this is nothing like your ordinary sports film.

























BROCK- HAMPTON Brockhampton is a 14-member alternative hip-hop boyband - they were recommended to me through a friend back in 2017 and I was immediately impressed for what they stood for as a group of individuals. They’re not afraid to touch on sexuality and mental health through their lyrics. They’re not all just musicians: the band includes producers, graphic designers, creative directors, photographers, videographers, a manager and a web designer. Personally, I’m a fan of their more older work from the saturation trilogy. The low-budget colourful, eccentricities of their music videos are a refreshing outlook to take a look at.
